Dang, I'd keep that thing locked away if it's worth that much. $150 is probably the most I'd spend on a nice watch.

I could not find a picture of mine on Tissot's website, but my model is pr200. It is a beautiful watch with that nice sapphire face so even I can't scratch it. Cost about $750 but I don't really know that as it was a wedding gift from my wife.

[Zenmervolt]

Either a basic Timex, a modern Gruen or (my favourite) a 1950's Longenes automatic that used to belong to my grandfather.

I think it's obvious who has the best watch here.








Oh look, it's time for dinner.

Wow. You all wear ugly and/or nerdy watches! I don't wear a watch.

Congrats on your interest in horology. I am a wristwatch dealer and love a good mechanical timepieces. I deal in these...Currently I wear a '74 Rolex Oysterdate, '80 Rolex Presidential w/diamond face and bezel, a'55 Longines, etc.,etc. Over the years I've acquired a pretty nice collection and pursue any deal I can find. I highly recommend buying mechanical over quartz (battery operated) because their value increases over time much more significantly than do those with batteries.
That Sinn is a sweet watch. I've always liked the military watches. Sinn, Fortis, Bell & Ross and such. Pocketwatches are also very fun to collect although quite old school, I always get comments about them!!

Thanks. I definitely have a preference for mechanical tool watches (military, divers, fliegers, etc), and find that I never really wear my quartz watches anymore. My first few decent watches were Seikos (god knows it is easier to build a collection with Japanese watches than Swiss ones), but am enjoying my newer Swiss and Swiss-powered watches. My dream watch is a NOS '60s Omega SM300, but I would really, really like a newer SM300 (particularly a 2254.50.50), but sure wouldn't say no to a Sea Dweller or one of those green-bezel Submariners.

Inspired by this thread. Lately I have become a watch afficianado, and I know there must be some other collectors out there. What's on your wrist?

Lately my Sinn 656 has been getting the most wrist time of my watches. My Bill Yao-modified Seiko SKX007 takes second place, followed by an early 60s Seikomatic Self-Dater I recently picked up off of Fleabay.

that seiko self dater is SWEET. i had an old bulova that looked similar to that. gold back, curved chystal.

Thanks. I am pleased with it for $26. I wear it on a brown calfskin strap, and it actually keeps surprisingly good time for its vintage.

[Black88GTA]

Tag 1500 series, about 6 years old

Silver band, black bezel, black face.


I also have an old Swiss Army watch, a Citizen, and a fake Rolex, but the Tag is the only one I use.

 

[Martin]

A casio one, looks a lot like the second one you have. Very large and heavy.


Gonna replace is with a smaller one.. metallic strap and black face..

 

[PlatinumGold]

Vintage Bulova

I had this one. i might still have it somewhere.

 

[BornStar]

Seiko

I have the previous generation but it's pretty much the same. Titanium and Kinetic.

Couldnt find it on Fossil.com anymore. Great watch, just a bit heavy! I am in the market for a new Fossil Titanium watch, and am armed with $75 in GC to fossil.com

 

[HiTek21]

Casio G-Shock for Work
Guess Chronograph or Swiss Army Watch for Dress

 

[nan0bug]

I wear one of these except instead of squares in the middle of the wrist band, there are circles. Its an older version of the same watch.

 

[Palek]

I had a nice 1994 Swatch for the longest time, ran on two batteries for almost 10 years, but it gave out on me recently. I miss my watch...

 

[codeyf]

I have a nice stainless steel Movado. My aunt gave it to me. It was my uncles that passed away in december.

Oh, also have my stainless/blue face Kenneth Cole I got for test driving the Nissan

 

[Lithium381]

[Chaotic42]

An Elgin something. I guess FC401.
